No no, I was asking about the differences between Single Transferable Vote and STAR - not RCV/IRV.

I'm trying to figure out the pros and cons of the STAR Voting method versus the pros and cons of the STV method. Can anyone help fill me in?

All those pesky staff, costing me money to produce value.

Does it? That tweet sounds like both Microsoft & Activision and the CMA have agreed to pursue an appeal ASAP, not that Microsoft/Activision have the go ahead from the UK?

This is cool. Been getting tempted to replay Portal - think this'll tip me over the edge.

Pshhtt, the hard stuff always seemed more fun to me anyway.

The purpose of the fediverse is to have things that are spread out and can talk to each other, right?

My point was only beehaw trying to cultivate a safe space that is closely policed isn't easily compatible with that baked-in interaction with other spaces which they can't police. Unless they play server whack-a-mole.

And then once large instances are cut off because they contain too many users to police when they interact on beehaw.org - what's the point in being part of the fediverse? Why not just be any other type of link aggregating forum?

It would make a little more sense if you could defederate unilaterally (i.e. non beehaw members cannot post on beehaw, but beehaw members can go interact on other instances). But as far as I understand that's not how it works.

I'm hoping some clever app dev creates a feature to auto-pull your subscriptions across accounts.

I mean, for a while now I'm not even sure you could call those turds polished...

I-is Portal the gateway drug to speedrunning?

Are you a speedrunning dealer trying to get me hooked on the light stuff?

Which someone called out as guerilla marketing - cause apparently you Yanks have baked beans as a traditional 4th July food???

Having read through that, to me it sounds like the WMF have 'enough' money for 12-18 months ahead - which doesn't sound unreasonable.

Though I do agree the emotional blackmail I've experienced in the past from their fundraising ads would very much suggest otherwise.

Shame they didn't have a control group of decaf drinkers (which the authors do acknowledge).

Also, kudos to nbc for not making to too challenging to find the original research article they were writing about.

I don't think you're right here. Having more good 3rd party apps makes lemmy more accessible, not less.

Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it's much smoother than Jerboa.

Just be mindful of the default 'All' view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can't interact with instances that you aren't logged on in.

Instead change it to be 'All@lemmy.world' to use it as normal.

Unless I'm mistaken Sync will only be for Android again.

Sure, but I don't think beehaw's philosophy suits the fediverse very well. They want to create a safer space where discussion and disagreement is encouraged, but more closely policed. Which makes sense for a closed system - not one where "unpoliced" users can interact with your community. Otherwise you end up playing server whack-a-mole... exactly like beehaw has done.

Stuff that's popular with any demographic - but especially mid teens and younger - gets hated on disproportionately when adults that are disinterested see it 'invading' their spaces.

At least that's my take.
